Will Miami have a 73 win season in the next 5 years?

the "3 headed monster" is signed through 2014

will one of the next 4 or 5 years contain a 73 win season??

keep in mind Lebron, Mo Williams and scrubs won 65 games 2 years ago and 62 this last season....

No, **** the Heat!

With the length of the playoffs being what it is, teams simply don't get huge win totals anymore. If the Heat live up to expectations and roll for most of the season, you'll see them resting their big 3 late in the year. The Heat don't have a TON of depth, so you can't expect them to keep winning at a high rate down the stretch if that happens.

not happening. I'd bet against it.

I remember hearing an interview with Larry Bird one time where they asked him a bunch of questions about Boston's 67-win season, and he said that the only reason they dropped 15 that year was because they simply got bored on some nights. It's hard to bring it every single night; and on top of that, even the lowest teams on the totem pole are going to bring their A-game when ever you're in town. I say it's a 50/50 shot. The East is particularly weak with Bosh and Lebron thinning it out even further, so it's definitely on the table.

The thing is though, that Bulls team had a ton going for it up and down and it was a perfect storm with that roster coming together. They were the best and most complete team in the league not only offensively, but were like 2nd or 3rd in defense that season and could beat you in so many ways because of the versatility that guys like Rodman, Kukoc, Harper, and Kerr brought to the table behind the big guns. They need to get a few of those types of guys on the team before they're able to be that dominant during the regular season. In my opinion, it's just too hard to win that many games relying on only 3 players. The playoffs are a completely different animal, but the regular season is a marathon. Miami isn't nearly as complete right now as that Bulls team was. I don't think it'll happen this season, but there's definitely a chance they could do it in a few years as they continue to complete the roster. Though like I said, the league is extremely top-heavy right now, so it's not impossible. I just think they're another 2-3 players away from being able to accomplish that.

If this were true, yes. Since it's not, no. Exponentially less likely they do it in three years than it would be if they had five.

Heat run sh*t now...get over it.

That doesn't answer the question.

[dolphann4life]

That doesn't answer the question.

i'm gonna say no. they'll win 66-70 games every yeard baring injury.....even not acheiving the 73 game mark of the bulls, were still running sh*t now....we have cocks and everyone else just has we-we's

It's a shame that the league is nearly devoid of big men who now how to play in the post, because I'd love to see the likes of Joel Anthony and Udonis Haslem (and even Bosh) get abused playing at the 5 on a nightly basis.

Extrapolate Marcin Gortat across the rest of the NBA and Miami doesn't win sh*t.

I won't say no

HELL no!
